Hello everyone,
Just got my brand new pool going. 16x36 with tanning ledge, 15900 gallons, vinyl. Salt water, Pentair IC40. I am in MIchigan, temps here have been around mid 60s this week. a bit of rain today.
It was filled with fresh water from a truck Last Thursday (1 week ago). Water was initially greenish (?metals), but clear the following day.
I bought the TF-100 kit and just got in the mail. First time I am testing the water since it was filled last week. Pump works 24/7 (variable speed pump). Salt clorinator reading fine, says good salt level.
water looks perfect, 100% clear.
this is my result:
pH 8.2
total Cl 0.5
TA 240
Free Clorine 1ppm
Combine C zero
CYA : it never turned cloudy, I assume 30 is the result?
Salt 3400ppm
I did read everything regarding the pool school. Watched videos. Got the recommended test (TF100), and I am not relying on pool stores. I did my home work LOL. I just need some help.
Used the pool math app but when I add the TA, it says that I need to bring the pH down to 7.0???
Please help, I have no idea in which order to fix the issues and how to fix it.
I am doing my best to learn everything, I did all the testing correctly, just need some guidance .
thank you so much for your help!!
